I think the video is a bit of a crock. Im willing to bet some of the genuine turbos blow the same way. And a comp wheel blowing isnt going to go through the floor of the bus anyway.
Any way unfortunately the variable turbos at this stage cannot handle the exhaust temps that petrol produce. Although they may last a while on e85.
I has a similar problem with a smaller kkr, had to replace teh exhaust housing as the bushing for the wastegate arm was faulty and was jamming the flapper
Although with the stock maps, or good aftermarkey mapping of th estock ecu, there is no way it will knock on the low octane map, its a hell of a lot better than what a pfc or most aftermarket ecu's do
If you want real gains that is street frendly, then look up mafia's water methanol setup. You will see 30rwkw gain, if tuned correctly, and can fill the 4litre resevoir up for about $4. Unfortunately the air con setup will never work.
Think about the internal volume of the car about 50 cubic feet. It takes a few minutes to cool that volume of air down 15deg. A turbo at full noise will pump out 600 cubic feet air per minute. The air con going flat out with perfect heat transfer will drop the intake temps by about .2deg.
Im just wondering how the 2876 is a bolt on when it has a t28 exhaust flange, wheras the rb20 manifold has a t3 bolt flange, which are different, unless you have an hks exhaust housing.
I believe the stroke is the same asa the rb30. It has been done by someone on here. From what i gather its a massive job with head bolts in different spots, water and oil galleries not lining up etc. Would be a good start if you want to make over 1200hp, otherwise its not really needed. I would speak to rips, as im sure they have looked down this alley to see if its worthwhile.
I dont think they are z32 internals in 65mm body, as then they wouldn't have the same voltage curve as the z32. I did some sums a while back using the voltage curves/airflow, and it certainly appeard that r32 gtr and z32 used the same sensor but the bigger housing gave it the extra resolution.
How does the garret fit fine on the rb20, when they have different flanges?Are you sure its a 2876?
I have a 2876 and IMO they are a mismatch of wheels Who know why garret fitted a comp wheel capable of over 320rwkw to a small turbine wheel and housing which struggle to make the shaft torque to spin said comp wheel while giving high exhaust backpressure.
If the rb25 highflow will make 240rwkw on an rb25 then it will make almost the same on an rb20, just require more revs to do it.
Couldn't disagree more that it acts the same as a map sensor when it maxes out. If the boost goes higher or spikes, or you get cooler weather, then the maxed AFM cant do anything, which will result in leaning out, wheras a map will still work as intended
Have you actually tried to cantrol the cam timing variably with the pwm setup, im pretty sure it wouldnt work due to the hydraulic setup. As i said i would look at evo stuff, as the siemens cam pulleys i think are electric.
